Bring garden-inspired scents indoors with the help of Mrs. Meyer's soy candles without breaking the bank. Packaged in simple glass jars (that you can totally reuse after) and made with soy and vegetable wax, this candle burns up to 35 hours.

Not only do they come in adorable packaging, but they're handcrafted with care, making them extra special.
Best Luxury
The iconic Capri Blue Volcano candle from Anthropologie is a dreamy scent that's become quite the cult favorite. Capri Blue is a luxe aromatherapy candle with a mix of tropical and citrus notes. This long-lasting candle comes in a chic glass container with a lid and can burn up to 85 hours.
Best Affordable Luxury
Luxury scents don't have to be over-the-top expensive (we're all for affordable dupes here), thanks to options like Lulu Candles. These vegan candles are made with soy wax and come in so many amazing scents, from a rich and earthy jasmine, oud, and sandalwood to fresh and citrusy wild lemongrass.
Best With Wooden Wick
Candles with wooden wicks make a pleasant crackle sound, just like you're sitting outside next to a cozy fall fire. And with WoodWick's Trilogy Candle, you can experience the sound along with three layers of different (but complementary) scents.
Most Unique
Ditch your average jar candle and decorate your home with this fun and realistic candle that doubles as home decor. Not only does it look like cereal, but the candle smells like it, too. Handmade with vegetable wax and beeswax, this clean-burning candle would make the perfect addition to your coffee table.
